Rousseau's Dream: Nature and Artifice

Abstract

Nature,' can never be for us an objective reality. In one form or another, we must represent the natural world to ourselves, and these representations are both cultural and ideational. It is through them that we respond to nature: intervening by our absences or presence, by our scientific curiosity and artistic expression, by classificatory passion and economic calculus, by practical measures to harness the powers of natural forces and by prayer and magic.     

主体性黄昏:特指还是泛指?

主体性黄昏旨在批判当代个人主体性发挥所造成的个人与自我、自然及他者等方面的反主体性现象,但其并不意味着所有的个人主体性都将走向衰落,恰恰相反,无论从理论还是从现实来说,真正的个人主体性都是不可消解的。在当代,告别主体性的黄昏,就必须实现主体范式的交往转向,走向个人交往主体性的黎明视界。     

试论卢梭的立法思想

法律思想在卢梭的整个思想中占有举足轻重的地位,而立法理论又是其中最为重要的组成部分。卢梭认为,法律是公意的体现,立法是为了实现正义,而立法是来自于人民的非凡人物,他们制定法律时应遵循自由与平等的原则。     

自由及其限度——关于自由的两种面相

自由是西方政治哲学中的一个核心概念,从古希腊、古罗马肇始以来便对西方发展产生了深远的影响,同时也引起了无数的争论.这些争论源于自由本身所固有的限度,由于这些限度自由先天地具有两种面相.要准确理解自由,我们就必须把握好绝对自由与相对自由、消极自由与积极自由、单一自由与多元自由这些概念及其关系.基于这些认识,才能使得对自由的追求在新的时期更加健康、持久地发展.     

Gentle Savages and Fierce Citizens against Civilization: Unraveling Rousseau's Paradoxes

Rousseau seems to argue, on one hand, that moderns are luxurious, lazy, weak, and soft, in opposition to primitive hardiness, vigor, ferocity, and rustic virtue. On the other hand, he depicts modern life as cruel, frenzied, competitive, and harsh, in opposition to primitive gentleness, idleness, abundance, and spontaneity. Is Rousseau, then, simply an imaginative ideologue, forwarding wildly opposed and oscillating characterizations of these eras, merely to be contrarian? This article attempts to demonstrate a degree of coherence in his analyses, by focusing on the various sociopolitical contexts he discusses, and the various moral characterizations and norms which apply to each of these contexts. Building upon a half‐century of interpretations, it offers an innovative logical typology of Rousseau's social thought—in terms of social complexity, environmental resources, and normative foundation—which may explain many of his central paradoxes.     

欧洲议会党团:一种特殊的政党组织

新世纪以来,为研究“共产党的执政规律”,有关政党问题的论著相继问世,其中不少论著涉及西欧政党问题。但能够既系统又简要且具学术性地反映出政党发源地——西欧国家冷战后政党基本状况的论著并不多见。本组笔谈力图达到这个目的。     

An economic model of regime change: Freedom as a public good

This paper analyses regime change via a peaceful revolution. Under these circumstances, peaceful manifestations of unrest reach a point at which the prevailing political system collapses and is replaced by a system which provides more freedom. Such regime change occurred in East Germany, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria. It is shown that the successful quest for freedom may be explained as a dynamic game. The game has a unique strong equilibrium — that is, a Nash equilibrium robust against mass defections — which arises in consequence of a trigger strategy which is similar to the Tit-For-Tat strategy in a repeated Prisoners' Dilemma.     

民间金融：自由与规制

民间金融具有存在的客观必然性,我国法律应对民间金融采取消极自由和利益平衡的价值取向。对具有较大影响的全国性民间金融组织予以立法规制,达到民间金融秩序法制化。民间金融本质是财产自由和金融民主,应引导民间金融良性发展,强化民间金融监管,防范金融风险,培育民间金融市场。     

自由幻象

在货币哲学视域中,货币是独立于现实世界的一种魔力,可左右人的生存与自由。自由是人的内在本质与发展诉求,追求自由是人生命本质的永恒奋斗目标。自由与必然是对立与统一的,并且自由是对必然的超越。在货币经济时代,人类追求的永恒的价值目标变成了对货币的追逐,人的尺度的评价标准被货币尺度所取代,自由异化了。     

自由:社会主义的核心价值追求

自由是人类共同的价值理念和马克思主义的最高价值追求。树立和践行"自由"这一社会主义核心价值观,必须深入研究切实把握客观规律、积极而合理地改造客观与主观世界;维护宪法和法律尊严,保障和落实公民享有的宪法和法律规定的自由权利;坚定共产主义理想信念,为共产主义的最终实现努力奋斗。同时要划清界限,反对自由主义;旗帜鲜明,批判资产阶级自由化;提高警惕,抵制新自由主义。     

自由的回归：放松管制的意义探寻

放松管制是20世纪80年代以来西方世界一颇为引人注目的现象。它由英美两国首开先河,并迅速波及世界各地,形成一个世界性的放松管制浪潮。放松管制是国家干预主义膨胀而引起的一种反动,是对曾经支持近现代文明发展的自由民主价值的回归,产生了良好的经济绩效和非经济绩效。它既是政府的自我解放,也是社会的自由解放。
